Zachary J Stern

I was unfortunate enough to get myself brought up on Measure 11 Rob 2, Theft 1 and felony assault charges all totaling more years than I can fathom. Rather than risk everything on a lesser known, less experienced attorney my family pooled the funds and hired Zack. Almost immediately he was able knock... down some of the stress we all faced having these charges hang over me. Over the months leading to the resolution and my constant fear of being sent to prison he went to every length to make sure we stayed in regular contact with any additional information as well as a plan for the upcoming dates and what to expect with each court hearing. Seeing him work made me more confident each time and in the end I had no jail time added besides my initial arrest and they dropped my felony charges to misdemeanors. I personally didn’t want to go to trial and I was very happy to stay out of prison and plea to misdemeanors without any felony charge. Very highly recommended I can’t imagine having dealt with this without him.

First, I would like to thank Zach Stern for all of his knowledge and continued support in my time in need. During the time of my incident, I was scared tremendously. It frightens me to think about how drastically my life could have been if it was not for Zach. Twenty-two years old facing 15 + years f...or a crime I did not commit would have been detrimental.  I felt that I was up against a system that I would not beat on my own. It was my word against theirs and I would not win. Before retaining Zach’s services, I had been in contact with what I was told was one of the very best sex crime lawyers in Oregon. The moment I met with the other individual it was evident that they were only interested in the money, not my outcome. On the third phone call I had with him, he told me he was not going to answer any more of my questions until I put 8.5k upfront. I was lost and did not know what to do. Thankfully, I got Zach’s information and from the very beginning, he treated me with professionalism and respect. He knew my worries regarding my case, finances, and the state of my mental health. After a long conversation of me explaining my side of the story to him, we began to discuss possible outcomes. He let me know not to worry so much about the financial pieces just yet; we could set-up a meeting so we can figure things out. He was 110% honest! We set up a fund account and he went straight to work. I am thankful I had family and friends in my corner to help financially. Retaining his services was not cheap, but neither was the service his firm provided. I can honestly say I got what I paid for. I was fortunate enough to be represented by someone who was committed and dedicated to my case. He was in constant contact with me and always on top of his work. I cannot thank him enough for what he did for my loved ones and ultimately, me. The case against me was dismissed and everything will be cleared from my record. Again, I express full gratitude in Mr. Stern and his services. He is truly the best at what he does and this is my testimony to prove it.

After calling multiple attorneys and feeling like a POS after saying my charge (Crim. Mistreatment felony and Recklessly endangering a Minor) Zack was the first attorney to not completely destroy of my feeling of self worth and hope of fighting this. Almost 2 years of fighting and after hiring him i... continued to feel hopeful that I was going to get through this and never once lost confidence that he knew what he was doing. He was worth every dollar and I would hire him again and again if need be. He stayed on top of everything was never late to any court dates and was straight forward on what I was looking at and what options were best for me. Just had my final court and here I am still felony free and no Jail time. All thanks to this amazing lawyer!!!! He’s not cheap but you won’t regret hiring him.

Zach knows his stuff, is extremely quick on his feet, and always knows what to say. My husband was looking at serious charges and a really complicated case. He was able to keep my husband calm and explained everything step by step. Not only was he always available anytime my husband needed to call hi...m, but he really does care about his clients. In the end, Zach was magic in the courtroom and we went home happy. You can't put a price on the kind of man or lawyer that Zach is. He is worth every penny. Hopefully we won't need his services again; but if we ever find ourselves in a situation where we need an attorney, he'll be our first call.
